The Grayson Bar

This place is so cool. Gives off speakeasy vibes. The drinks are great. The bartenders actually know how to make a real martini! They have a really good happy hour and a pool table. What more could you ask for?

My husband and I decided to have some fun in downtown, we stopped by The Grayson bar. I want to share my experience. It’s really a cool place to relax, have delicious cocktails, play pool table. We had a great time! Very friendly bartenders!

Had an amazing time at The Grayson this memorial day weekend! Amazing drinks. Loved the ambiance. Great DJ with live entertainment. Highly recommend. Will definitely go here again! 10/10

Had a great cocktail. Not only was it made well, served it a great cup. Which made for great experience.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Grayson Bar & Slipper Clutch, and I have to say, the new ownership and management have truly elevated the experience. The Grayson boasts a comfortable and sleek design that perfectly balances modern aesthetics with a cozy atmosphere. It's the ideal spot for a relaxed evening out. The Slipper Clutch, on the other hand, exudes a cool and grungy vibe that appeals to those who love a more edgy ambiance. The sound system is top-notch, ensuring that every beat resonates perfectly throughout the space. Whether you're there for the music or the atmosphere, it doesn't disappoint. Moreover, the staff at both venues are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that every visit feels special. From the welcoming smiles to the impeccable service, it's clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority. Overall, Grayson Bar & Slipper Clutch under new management is a must-visit. Whether you're in the mood for sleek sophistication or gritty cool, these spots have got you covered.

This place is friendly & makes the atmosphere so much better. The whole place is just incredibly well managed. Expect to go back for more, recommend to go during the day & stay all night ❤️‍🔥.

If you're looking for a delish margarita look no further. X is the magical individual behind the bar who has you covered. Come hang out, good vibes, nice peeps. Keep walking in don't stop at the front.

Come for the well-priced drinks, stay for the great atmosphere and friendly bartenders! 🍹🥂 #CheersToGoodTimes #DrinkUp #FriendlyVibes

Yes: fun times and good drinks! This bar is exciting in the main room once a month they have house/tech music with this promoter named Jenwa: she's amazing and so is the night! It's got a great a vibe filled with amazing music to dance to! I love the small bar vibe for this and then in the middle is a speak easy with a secret door! This also leads to upstairs which holds some of the best punk bands in Los Angeles and the best Mohawks! Anyways get your butt down there especially for Jenwa's events! Worth it

I used to come here when it was chatterbox and the vibes were always off. I LOVE THIS BAR NOW!!! I come here after my bar shifts and it's always a nice spot. LOVE X! LOVE LEE!! LOVE STEPHANIE!! The door guys are always sweet! This a MUCH BETTER PLACE NOW!!

X is a cool guy! The drinks are dope and he gave us a good vibe! What stood out most was his ability to recommend a cocktail tailored to my preferences--he truly listens and makes you feel valued as a guest. Beyond his bartending expertise, X was friendly, professional, and had a great sense of humor, making the experience even more memorable. If you're looking for an exceptional bartender, X is the one to look for! I'll definitely be back thanks to him. Let me know if you want any edits!

So glad that we chose to stop by The Grayson! The inside is large and it's nice to have options. There are 2 more bars inside, which only adds to the allure. X was the best! Such a chill dude with good vibes and welcoming! Karaoke night was a good time! Would definitely come back for drinks here, but only with X behind the bar...otherwise just don't stop.

One of the first few bars that took their chances in starting their business in highland park and since the time they opened they continue to have a welcoming and cool vibe. Awesome place to watch Los dodgers or any other sporting event.

What a fun place for date night! Great drinks, snacks, and good times. My hubs and I arrived to have a few drinks with some friends and ended up staying for the whole night. There was a DJ that night and we danced, played pool and drank some more. The drinks are amazing! My favorite so far is The Rabbit Hole . The staff were so helpful and friendly too. We'll definitely be back soon! If you're in downtown LA and looking for a cool cocktail bar / lounge, make sure to stop by here! I'll be sure to update you guys on my next review too.

4++ intimate, smallish bar located in DTLA. It's on the same block as Grand Central Market and connected to Fabby's Sandwicherie (the store front says The Grayson Bar, but I originally came to this location specifically for the sandwiches, haha). That said, you can actually order sandwiches/ food from the Fabby's and they actually could bring you your order if you decide to go to the bar and grab a drink - which is what I did. The bartenders here are very chill and friendly. When I went during the week, there was just a handful of other patrons here drinking. Definitely the type of spot where you go with a friend to catch up or possibly a good spot for early on in the dating cycle. The selection here is really great. They actually have a great stock of rare whiskeys. I would suggest with such a great stock, create a whiskey list for folks to refer to. I could almost guarantee that anyone looking at those type of bottles would appreciate a short list. The alternative is having to ask the bartender how much each of the pours are and I'm guessing it would get annoying for them to look up each price while others are waiting to be helped. Also, once I did find out how much the prices were for the rare bottles...it was a little rich for my blood. It's not too surprising since the location is in DTLA and the buildout looks pretty fantastic here. But for me personally, I would drink some of the more rare bottles elsewhere (I specifically have my spots). Not to take away from this place - I think it's a fantastic place to meet up for a drink and probably would order cocktails the next time I am there.

Amazing vibes!!! The security was cool and the bartender was great at making our drinks! I came here for a few drinks with my girlfriends and met cool people. I really loved when they turned up the music , it was so great we started dancing!

Chose Grayson Bar as my St Patrick's Day hang out and was not disappointed. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly crowd.

We met up with a group of friends for an overdue night out. The vibe was chill, the drinks were good and the music from the DJ was even better. Plan to go back soon with another set of friends.

Wonderful atmosphere!! I love The vibe of the disco ball, intimate lounge seating, and wonderful staff that is very attentive with good energy!! I highly recommend trying the rabbit hole drink if you enjoy Mezcal drinks like myself. As a bonus, you can eat the wonderful hand rolls from Temaki Society. Overall, they provided such a fun experience for my husband and I to enjoy good drinks, good music, and delicious food!!

The Greyson is maintaining the operations of a nightlife in DTLA- an island of charm amidst the darker, intersecting streets. You enter through the street-level patio. Some menu items this recent evening included the tuna tartare taco; you know you are in LA when the 'bar food' is classier than unfrozen sliders and jalapeño poppers! The music was provided by a DJ spinning vinyl - Motown vinyl at that-! And upstairs, the Slipper Clutch was our destination. Several punk bands on a weds night- ya! The usual rum and coke was actually a root beer and rum- sweet, sure; but fun with the spicier root-soda. There is an outside patio, upstairs, which provides a look across an ally to the long-standing La Cita signage. Sound was well-managed for the intimate stage. We will be back, certain. :)

X, Tim , and Kevin! This place was such a vibe - st. Patrick's day was too good! Definitely recommend this place and the staff I mentioned were hella fun! Nice and clean space too

This bar is awesome! X and Johnny in the punk bar made the space so much fun. As soon as I walked in they welcomed me. X's punk playlist was on point! If you want something different then you could check out the front bar or even listen to goth upstairs. Incredible experience!! Highly recommend!!

Great cocktails, ambience and service! Definely a solo or group type of place! Lots of street parking

The drinks and service were great! I definitely recommend getting The Rabbit Hole if you're a fan of Mezcal! And special shoutout to X for making our experience an incredible one!

What a great selection, stumbled upon this place in DTLA. Was in Los Angeles over the weekend and thought i go bar hopping. This one was the place to be. Staff made you feel very welcome, the Ambiance was great! Great music with a live DJ! Will definitely come back!

Lee is the greatest bartender ever! In a world of mixologists that have to Google the drinks, Lee is the cocktail king! Call any drink and in less than 2 mins it's in front of you. Will become a regular.

"X". Is the man. Great hospitality. Great service. Great location. Perfect place for a nice night out. Highly recommend. See X. He will get you right.

Had the best time at the Grayson bar!! Favorite cocktail I've had. (The rabbit hole) made my our bartender X! He was great. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good place to get drinks in downtown!

What an odd place. No atmosphere. Some of the worst drinks I've ever had from a bartender that acted bored. And the smell of bad fish from the hand roll place in front of. Wrong place to kill time when you're waiting for amazing pasta across the street.

Beautiful atmosphere and intimate vibes with a gorgeous selection of spirits. It's definitely a gem if you're looking for a chill night out in L.A Service is great with talented bartenders cooking up some delicious cocktails. Come check it out, you won't be disappointed!!

I' came here with my favorite guy. He paid for all the drinks (I rlly like him). Highly recommend this spot. Our bartender X was amazing too!!

Good drinks, and nice service. Ambiance is cool I really enjoyed myself... I'll go again!

I love this bar. I live in downtown LA and came across this bar located on 4th and broadway. I love the front yard, and the back bar gives a vibe as well. This is my go to spot now . Finally a bar that is cool, but has no cover. Bartenders are cool af. X makes a killer vibe. And so does Tim

I spent Christmas here and the the bartenders were so lit, playing great music, and on my way out Jonathan was the homie and got me to my car

Amazing service and great selection! Ambiance was great and the bartenders were very friendly!

Had an amazing time at The Grayson this memorial day weekend! Amazing drinks. Loved the ambiance. Great DJ with live entertainment. Highly recommend. Will definitely go here again! 10/10

Visited this place for the first time and must say X is the best bartender ever ! So friendly and makes the best drinks!! This place needs to get him a fat raise because literally makes me want to come back every day! He makes sure that every drink is up to par before we walk away and makes sure that he helps out! Most bars I've been to bartenders take their sweet time to get to you but this man is on par with his service !! Will be back !!

So much fun at The Grayson Bar!!! Love the atmosphere and the vibes!! Drinks are on point, services was amazing!! If you want a fun chill night out The Grayson is the place to be!!

Had an amazing time at Grayson Bar in Los Angeles! My friends and I were looking for a chill bar and this place is a vibe and is super fun, the drinks are incredible, and the crowd is stunning. Loved the music--it really made the night special! Definitely a must-visit spot!

Great vibes and people here are super friendly. Temaki society sushi is incredible and it's so unique! X is the man to ask for at the bar

X did what needed to be done. Great service & made sure we were taken care of! Will be back for round

Great vibes at Grayson Bar. We enjoyed the amazing atmosphere and welcoming layout. Their staff was kind and attentive. Drinks were top notch. Loved the old fashion. Will definitely go back!

Great bar in DTLA. Was there two days ago, had an amazing experience. Great service. Food was good. I recommend try the food there. I recommend trying the Grayson cocktail. Good ambience.

Great vibes. Place is under new management and has a nice ambience with great drinks. This place will be my new go to bar!

great place. we had EXCELLENT martinis at happy hour. the olives were colossal. the martini was REALLY cold, hence perfect. look forward to going back. need to try some of their interesting tequilas.

Had a blast here. Great venue and vibes. Shout out the DJ playing all the Bay Area classics and the bartender X.

Wow, I discovered this bar because I was coming to see a show at the slipper clutch since they're connected to each other. This bar is very classy, we came to chill here after the show was over and kept drinking and playing pool. I love the comfy booths and dark lounge aesthetic vibe. Their selection of liquor is top notch. Drinks are on point. You won't be disappointed. Will definitely be coming back

The service at The Grayson Bar is top-notch! The staff is friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. The staff here truly cares about their guests. It's the perfect place to enjoy your day with friends. Drinks are the best

Passion District, I think it was called was amazing. It was dangerously good tbh. X was my bartender he was super nice and showed my friend and I the back bar, outside area etc. he was friendly and attentive. Such a good vibe. Rarely get great customer service like his these days. Will be back forsure!

My friends and I went to the Grayson bar last week...it had an awesome ambience with great service. They just recently remodeled it and it looked very modern and elegant! My friends and I ordered a few drinks and I happened to get Jalisco spritz- it was AMAZING which I highly recommend. If you're in downtown and want a chill vibe with a great ambience please do yourself a favor and go there...you won't disappoint. I will definitely go back again!

We came to this spot after leaving Grand Central Market, upon the recommendation of an employee there, what great addition to the neighborhood, chill spot with great ambiance and even better selection of the good stuff. Can't wait to try all the different spirits. They also have a small bar menu, everything was good, loved the wings. Welcome to the neighborhood!

went there and had a great time. If you want to spend a terrific evening with good food, good ambience, and great drinks. I can't wait to check out the live entertainment that will be playing there. This is a place in the middle of the hip part of DTLA!

Definitely a must try bar in DTLA! Went the other night with a group of friends and it was the perfect place to catch up! The cocktails were on point, service was super friendly and interactive, and bonus: they even had a billiards table for extra fun. My favorite thing about the Grayson was being able to order a sandwich from Fabbys without having to leave the bar, definitely a unique perk that would have me coming back.

We had a blast at this spot. Drank a bunch and all the alcohol we had were on point. The bartenders are cool and we partied so hard. Woke up without a hangover and some great memories. This place was clean and well maintained. I recommend to anyone that wants to go party in downtown to visit them.

This is my new favorite spot in downtown!!! Me and my friends love it. Explore the whole bar, theres multiple bars if ypu keep walking thru and opening the doors. And the bartenders are epic. Shout out to X and goth brooks. They bring a great , fun vibe. They make you feel welcomed and a part of the party. I give this place 10 stars. They have a pool table in there (speakeasy) bar in the back. They have 3 different bars, all under one roof. There's an epic sushi spot in the front, sooo gooddd. It's definitely the new cool spot in downtown cheers #datenight #barbiegirls #goth. #punktattoes #classy

Cool bar with cool atmosphere. great drinks and atmosphere...highly recommend!!!! must try

What a great new spot. Newly renovated and under new ownership. Nice upscale vibe; fantastic food; great cocktails. One of the much nicer bars in dtla
